After a few fails at scrounging I finally have some success, at least soon I will.
I was talking to a guy @ work and told him about my hunger for some firewood. He tells me that he has some sitting in the woods that I can have. Seems the house he bought a few years ago has a wood burner but he has NO interest in using it. He wasn't sure how much was in the woods behind him but it's split and stacked!
Then yesterday I was talking to another guy and was drooling over some downed trees along the road when he asked if I was looking for firewood. I said "Oh, yeah. As much as I can get." So he goes on the explain that he has a "bunch" of trees that have come down and he just cut them into pieces and tossed them in the woods and I could have it. I asked him how much I could have and he said "All of it." I later asked what type of wood (not that this would matter) and how longs it's been down. He said it's a mix of hardwood and softwood and most of it has been down for two years. Then he told me he was taking down a couple more trees and I could have those too!
I'm going to wait a few weeks before I go get either of it because we've had so much rain I'll make a mess of their yards. I don't know how much will be salvaged but I am guessing most will be in good shape. I'll post pics when I get the wood.
Man, I love friends!
